The Mather Family

By Enoch Pond

Book Overview

The Mather Family is a book written by Enoch Pond that provides a comprehensive account of the Mather family, a prominent family in early American history. The book traces the lineage of the family, beginning with Richard Mather, who emigrated from England to Massachusetts in the mid-17th century. It then details the lives of his descendants, including Increase Mather and his son, Cotton Mather, who were both influential Puritan ministers and scholars. The book also explores the family's involvement in key events in American history, such as the Salem witch trials and the American Revolution. It delves into the family's religious beliefs and practices, as well as their contributions to the fields of theology, education, and politics. In addition to providing a historical account of the Mather family, the book also offers insights into the broader social, cultural, and political contexts of early America. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of American history, as well as anyone interested in the lives and legacies of one of America's most prominent families.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
